Charity is such a black hole.

Charity is such a black hole. Good ideas, like light from beautiful stars, that could help develop cross cultural partnership can so often be sucked into the dependancy of the black hole of charity. In a time when our new government has re-stated it's commitment to overseas aid it's interesting that the humbug vultures are a circling. Does charity begin at home?

travels through state schools in Brazil

I'm about to fly to Brazil to carry on education development in their state school system. What a challenge! Channelling resources and expertise within such need is a daunting task - but, why not me and why not now?
